Religious fanatics of all faiths love to visit their shrines or make pilgrimages, there can be extreme goings-on there: stampedes, mutilations, crawling on hands&kness and general hysteria :eek: Not my thing but I have to admit if I ever got to Thiers or Laguiole I would feel compelled to give homage:D And what better way than using one of my French favorites - or perhaps buy one there!! - to make a celebratory meal of great bread, cheese, sausage, fruits & wine in the open air:thumbsup: I really do envy S Skyline Drive for his trip, excited to see more pictures of JL's small town and the Knife Fair😍

Thanks, Will

No need to bring provisions, you can get a complete local meal. Well, no fruit in winter. And don't forget your sweater ! 😊

An “Le Nayrac” from Jérôme Lamic. It’s a “poor man’s” Lamic. Jérôme buys the kit and adds the scales and a simple guillochage. Jérôme, wo lives and works in his hometown (big word for half a dozen houses in the middle of nowhere), told me that the local farmers complained that the locals couldn’t afford his knives and that anyway nobody would ever cut anything with his blades. So he decided to remedy to the situation. The result is a simple but solid high quality knife made from 14C28 steel. Scales on mine are oak wood and made from old fence posts.

Nice
Same reason Paul Emmanul Arestan started smoko designs here in Australia. To make an affordable user for Aussies.
He has the blades made in Thiers.
Thank you for the pictures.
